The coronavirus is mutating — does it matter?

All viruses mutate. Most tend to mutate weaker not stronger.

Thank you, Dr. Fauci.

... The blessing of mutations is that the mutations tend to slow and self-limit the virus, that is that they are self-detrimental . The mutations change the efficacy of the virus, and in fact, generally weaken it.

And that should work in the long run as long as China doesn't keep 'accidentally' keep re-releasing the original...

(Example: China and India have a border dispute and 7 weeks later cases skyrocket in India. That kind of crap - not saying that happened...)

GOPJ :" (Example: China and India have a border dispute and 7 weeks later cases skyrocket in India. That kind of crap - not saying that happened...) "

I understand it's a possibility, or pure conjecture, on your part.
But think about it for a minute ...
One of the side-effects of covid19 is arterial cardio infection as well as lung scaring; with the latter affecting the ability to oxygenate the blood system.
One of the symptoms of covid is clinically known as dyspnea, a shortness of breath which can occur between 4 -10 days after infection.
It affects your ability to function, work, think, and can last for several months later; some athletes are noticing chronic shortness of breath after recovery.
The contentious border between China and India is at high altitudes, where in many cases the ability to breathe in high altitudes restricts even the ability to walk.
As I understand it, India uses natives in the area who have a biological ability to function in low oxygen environment.
Such a use of covid19 as a bio-warfare agent is not outside the realm of possibility.
Think of it as "Occam's Razor ".

India added half a million COVID-19 cases in one week: WHO

India reported the most new cases worldwide in the past week, pushing global tally by 1 percent, the UN agency says.

Right, that's possibly true .
Do you trust WHO ?.. I don't, not since the Wuhan outbreak.
Do you trust the UN ? .. I don't; I believe the agency has become partisan and anti-American .
Nevertheless, Yes, I can believe that covid is spreading there, but WHO statistical modeling, from the very beginning, was off 10 fold.
Also, while the evidence of covid explodes there, don't forget that a large number (I believe 90%)are asymptomatic, as well as 'false positives'.

What they do not want you to know is that there is always a slight mistake in replication...

That's exactly what the article says.

Reference bump!

Capers (raw) or processed have the highest levels of Quercetin - I always use capers in my salads and omelettes (best with Brie, bacon, capers and avocado ;-).

Pre-CV-19.

My Centrum Silver (Men 50+ , different than just Silver) has high levels of Zinc, and other goodies that I might miss in my diet Ds, Bs, etc..

Still here, so that’s a good thing, right?

Generally how’d you get the HCQ? Please do tell or hint?
